@Mizmazzle
absolutely, I wonder why they don’t have their own soles or do some repro ones like clutch .

Thinking about preordering a pair of Chapmans...

[ZackB]

@Ikeaparty which leather are you thinking about?

[Ikeaparty]

@ZackB probably the black CXL, I want the chococlate CXL wife says black so it'll probably be black!

[ZackB]

@Ikeaparty I don’t think you can go wrong with either color, the backstory is dope on those too.

just ordered the Sahara boots . guess the perfect boots for summer
hope they work

I ordered a pair of Black Engineer boots around about a month ago. I'm usually a size 9 but decided to go for a 9 and a half, they're an incredible fit. Quite possibly the best looking and fitting boots I have, ended up ordering another pair a week later in natural.

I own a pair of Wesco Engineer boots in brown and they are great too but I think the Lofgrens edge it, for me anyway.

Amazing boots!

@Daniel-San wore mine for the first time today. Quite comfy out of the box and doesn’t feel warm.

[ZackB]

@PJ those look great PJ. Might need to grab those.

Can anyone provide sizing advice/comparisons on the JL engineer boots?

No idea what my Brannock size would be as the UK doesn’t really use them. For comparison I’m:
US 9 in Red Wing moc toes and Blacksmiths
UK 8 in Cheaney
Uk 8 in Blundstone
UK 8-8.5 in Edward Green
And all my Converse are marked as UK 9

@NickD

if I were you, I would measure correctly with a Brannock device. Measures your heel to toe, heel to ball and width. You can order one via Amazon..

You might find out that your heel to toe is a 9 and your heel to ball is 10 US(10 Brannock). This is especially important with engineers for the fit to be correct. It’s a small price to pay, I’ve known many people that had to sell thousand dollar plus boots because the fit was off.

All that being said typically, JL engineers are .5 down from Brannock if you’re a D width foot. If you’re an E with high volume, high arch they might be something you could take true to size.

Red wing Moc Toes, Iron Rangers, etc., are also half down from Brannock. if you were sized by Red Wing they’re notorious for putting people in boots that are too small…
